Positive or negative?

... my answer, which is positive, is the entire LOTR + Silmarillion. Followed very closely by the entire literary (fiction) output of Isaac Asimov. That isn't to say is scientific writings weren't excellent (they really are), but I didn't find them impactful.

If you cannot be present even in normal circumstances, such as when you are sitting
alone in a room, walking in the woods, or listening to someone, then you certainly won't be able to stay conscious when something "goes wrong" or you are faced with difficult people or situations, with loss or the threat of loss. You will be taken over by a reaction, which ultimately is always some form of fear, and pulled into deep unconsciousness. Those challenges are your tests. Only the way in which you deal with them will show you and others where you are at as far as your state of consciousness is concerned, not how long you can sit with your eyes closed or what visions you see.
